We saw Whitey Morgan and the 78s. The band is excellent. Highly recommend. The Tractor had great sound and a lively crowd. It was a terrific show to see. Thanks Tractor!

This venue is small and intimate perfect for those shows where you want to be able to make eye contact with the performers lol they have a bar and a bench seat on the floor. Get there early to claim your spot up close! A couple tables near the bar. Expect to stand and dance. Can get pretty crowded but that's what makes it fun.

One of the best intimate venues left in Seattle for catching a show. Drink prices are reasonable, restrooms stay clean through most of the night. The bar is easily accessible. Friendly bartenders and staff.

I’ve been so excited for one of my favorite (if not my very favorite) Seattle music venues survive and open back up post-lockdown. They’re currently masked and vaccine card required. Great bar, small enough of a venue so you’re never too far from the stage, and always great musicians/bands (including a lot of local bands).

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Try a VRBO or Air BNB. Otherwise a place we have stayed several time is "Hotel Hotel Hostel," in Fremont.

Can I get inside the tavern for a regular drink on the night of a show? Or do I need a ticket to get inside on a night someone is performing?

Samantha | Aug 10, 2022

You will need a ticket. It's a gigantic single room with the band playing against one wall. Great venue for many acts.

How do I get ADA seating?

Kathy Steadman | Aug 10, 2022
Alice Freist | Aug 11, 2022

There really isn't much seating at all. There are a couple of booths/tables (i do mean a couple, just 2 or 3!), plus several (maybe up to 10) stools at the bar. The room the stage faces might have a table or two tucked away, but it's more of a dance hall than a theatre. Unless you're in a wheelchair, don't expect anyone to notice that you may need some help. Since it is Seattle, if you do have a chair or at least a walker, people will typically help you to the front so you can see the band.

Does the venue have available ADA seating? My (adult) son has a broken leg that will not be healed in time for the early June show. He can move with crutches but cannot stand for the duration of a show. What are his options?

John Love | Aug 10, 2022
Terry Kottwitz | Aug 11, 2022

There is very limited seating. When we've seen shows there, we've had to get there very early (before doors open) to get a seat. Perhaps the management could reserve some space on the benches if you call them and explain the situation.

We don't sell gift cards. But if you know a show you want to purchase tickets to for another person, you can do that via our website. Then whoever picks them up just needs to give us the name they were purchased under & the last 4 of the card used. Or you can come into our box office & purchase physical tickets.
